i like that Jet song but this Spin headline from July made me laugh: Jet Un-Retire With Shitty New EDM Song
  Tue. 9/19/17 12:59pm rw:

dale, I don't remember Jet. That song sounded cool though. Jesus Jones... I do remember them being huge for three minutes but no memory of what the sounded like. I'm guessing they had cool hair though.

Not to be jayjune but what is the origin of the name "thing with a hook"? Plus googling for "thing with a hook" is distracting. Plus what a great show, thank you.

1/2 Japanese, I suspect.

When Pseu said that I thought of John Bellushi in animal house smashing guitar.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Tue. 9/19/17 1:18pm Parq:

Alan J, if I could just leap right in here (I have no inside info on the subject), I've always understood it to be just a generic monster-movie name with a pun involving "hook".
(As in pop song with hooks, get it?) I did google it (I'm easily distracted) and most hits are to this show.

The thing with a hook especially likes to stalk lovers' lanes....in my universe at least. and also, pun.

Oh, right. You saw the film "Mother" by Darren Aronofsky, you didn't run across the woman who birthed him shopping in a local store. Got confused at first.
